The Eternal Priest

Sunday 21 February
READ:Heb. 7:24-25
MORE LESSON: Psa. 110:3-4

The text for today, referring to Jesus, says, But this Man, because He continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them: Heb. 7:2-25. Priests are mediators between God and men; they take requests from men to God and bring the oracles of God to men. Every religion has an established form of priesthood by which they claim that their adherents can have access to God. Even in the Old Testament, there were many priests but they were always terminated by death; they died and could not function anymore.
However, Jesus the Great High Priest, unlike all the other earthly priests, could not be stopped by death. There are several reasons why only Jesus is qualified to be the only Mediator between God and man; the first reason being that He died, rose again and is still alive up till today and is going to still remain alive forevermore; so He lives forever to mediate for those that believe in Him. He has an eternal priesthood – no other priest qualifies on this count. Also, Jesus is sinless and doesn't have to offer sacrifices for His own sins before He atones for the sins of the people. No other priest also qualifies on this count - every other priest was born in sin.
This explains why Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me: John 14:6. Jesus is the only way to God: He is the only One qualified to mediate between God and man. He is the eternal priest who lives forever to intercede, forgive and save to the utmost those that believe in Him. I don't know who you have chosen as the priest over your life. You might even be living without any priestly coverage over you, but you surely need an advocate and mediator with the Father because, whether you like it or not, you have an accuser. Satan is the accuser that accuses you day and night. With Jesus, however, you are safe because He neutralises the ministry of the accuser by defending your case before the Lord.
You need Jesus, the eternal Priest, He who sits at the right hand of the Father to defend you and make sure you get safely to your eternal home. To accept Jesus as your priest; come to Him, confess your need of Him and receive Him as the Priest over your life and your position with God the Father is secure.

Prayer/Action
* Thank you Father for giving me Jesus as my High Priest.
* The High Priest has spoken favourably on my behalf to the Father, therefore, I shall not live in the guilt of my past, in Jesus’ name.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
I decree that the spirit of advancement and increase to take over from the spirits of retardation and reduction in every area of my life today, in the name of Jesus.

God Cannot Lie

Saturday 20 February
READ:Num. 23: 19
MORE LESSON: Titus 1: 2

It is impossible for God to lie; whatever He says must come to pass. If He made a promise to you; either through His written Word or spoken Word, He will definitely bring it to pass. Even when it looks as if the promise will not happen anymore, you just hold on to it because it will come to pass. Remember the word of Jesus, Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away: Matt 24:35.
In Isa 7:14, God gave a word through Prophet Isaiah, Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Isaiah had been giving prophecies and they came to pass. But on that particular one, it seemed as if he missed it because time passed and no virgin gave birth. He lived and grew old and some people must have started saying that he lied; others would laugh and say 'the old man tried, it is just that he missed it on this one. Let's forgive him, at least there are others that he got right'.
You know, when a promise takes so long and it is not coming to pass, people start thinking it is a lie. In the lifetime of Isaiah till he died, it seemed as if he carried one reproach as the prophet who lied that a virgin would give birth and it never happened but he went to the grave
refusing to deny that God did speak to him. Isaiah died still insisting that God spoke to him and God cannot lie. The rest is history today; the prophecy still came to pass after Isaiah was long gone. God lived up to His Word.
I've declared the word of God before and it took so long like it would never happen but I refused to bother because I know God cannot lie. There was a time I prayed for a spiritual daughter of mine who had no child. As I prayed for her, I saw children surrounding her and I declared the word of the Lord. But do you know what happened after that? Her husband died! I prayed for her and again I saw children around her and declared it. She laughed and said, 'Daddy, is it children that I didn't have when I had a husband that I will have now that I am a widow?' I said that I don't know and I'm not bothered but I just speak as the Lord told me. The long and short of the story is that another man came and married her even though she wasn't young anymore. She has three children now.
God is not a man that He should lie (Num. 23: 19), whatever He has said concerning your life will come to pass, refuse to doubt.

Prayer/Action
* Ask the Lord to be true to His promises over you and your family.
* Father, I receive grace to wait for the performance of Your word in my life.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
The forces of favour and help will work together to bring my testimony today, in the name of Jesus

Just Believe

Friday 19 February
READ: 2 Kings 7:1-20
MORE LESSON: Isa 55: 8-9

I have noticed that the first step in walking in the miraculous is not to imagine how God will do something but just to believe it. When God gives you a word; you don't start calculating how it will come to pass; leave the calculations to Him. You just receive the final answer from Him. Such childlike faith is what is required for experiencing the miraculous.
There was a very sore famine in Israel and Elisha prophesied that by the morrow, food will be surplus. An economic expert and analyst in the king's cabinet reasoned that there was no way that could happen. The prophet told him that it would happen, he would see it but he would not partake of it. Things turned out just as the Lord had said.
There was a time in our church that some faithful final year brethren who were university students had so many carry-overs. I heard the Lord say that He would by-pass the natural law and graduate them, so I called them and prayed for them. I was ministering to them and I declared, 'go all of you and graduate'. I had no idea how that would happen because they were in the final semester and already had so many carry-overs that necessitated them to stay behind for an extra year or so. I didn't care how it would happen, I just believed what the Lord said and declared it.
Then suddenly something happened; the university announced that year that they were going to have what is called a third semester. It wasn't planned in the school calendar, it wasn't according to curriculum and it had never been done before. But the school decided there would be a third semester and students were free to register any pending course, write the exam and graduate that year with their mates if they pass. When I heard the news, I laughed because the university governing board sat down and agreed on a physical decision but unknown to them, they were responding to a spiritual arrangement .
Today, everything that God has promised your destiny receive performance in the name of Jesus Christ. Even when it looks as if it is impossible by human calculations, the creative power of the Holy Ghost will descend upon the promise of God on your life and bring it to pass, For with God nothing shall be impossible: Lk. 1:37.

Prayer/Action
* Lord, because I believe, nothing shall be impossible for me, in Jesus’ name.
* Prophesy that all things will work together for your good today.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
Father, You will satisfy me early this year with loving kindness, in the name of Jesus.

Breaking Limits

Thursday 18 February
READ:Isa. 10: 27
MORE LESSON:Psa. 124:7

The enemy is always excited at drawing limits of where a man cannot pass in destiny. It is also our responsibility to terminate his limitation over our lives. Sometimes the limit is a line of demarcation drawn for a whole family; you see a trend of limits that nobody in a family can transcend, but as a child of God, you must decide to go beyond the enemy's limit over your life and family. It starts with a determination before a confrontation and then an elimination of all limits over your destiny,
One of my children in the Lord once said to me, 'Daddy, I will be thirty years old.' I was happy and said I will celebrate it for him. He said that it wasn't celebration that he called for. He counted about three of his elder ones who died a day to their thirtieth birthday. Obviously, the enemy had set a limit of thirty years that no one in his family would cross. I assured him that he would live beyond thirty and made him promise me a cake on his thirtieth birthday. I laid hands on him, and declared that every limit of thirty years over his life was broken.
A night to his birthday, he called me and reminded me that he would be thirty the next day, he asked if he could come sleep in my house. I told him not to worry but to call me when it's 5mins to 12am. At night, he called and along with him we sang a song of thanksgiving. He said, 'Daddy, I thought you will pray.' At 12 o'clock I was still singing, when the young man burst into tongues. I told him, 'we are still singing, let's sing now'. He joined me and from there on, we moved on to praying in tongues. When I stopped, he continued. So, I put my head on my pillow and slept off, I left him singing. The next morning, he walked to my office and said daddy, I am glad to be thirty, he is still alive today. Hallelujah! The anointing of God broke the evil family yoke off his neck like the Prophet Isaiah prophesied. There is no limitation or affliction, no matter how strong that the power of God cannot break.
Don't run helter-skelter, God’s Word has promised that by His anointing, your yoke shall be broken, so take your matter to Him and to Him (Jehovah God) only. Don't patronise satanic agents, even if they bear church-title-pastor prophet-they may be herbalists and by their unscriptural fruits, you shall know them. The anointing of God operates by God’s Word, take hold of God’s Word and promises, like today’s reading. It has every authority for victory, proclaim it over your life and stand on it. Find others like it also and keep discharging them in the place of prayer.
Today, the Lord will break every limitation that has been placed over your destiny. May be your colleagues have gone ahead of you because of the limits that have kept you on the same sport, the Lord give you speed and break every boundary, in Jesus’ name. Every curse that has kept you stagnated is destroyed today. By the provision of the covenant of the Blood of Jesus, you are exempted from every family barrier. You will go beyond your parents. I always pray for all my children physical and spiritual that where I stop will be their own launch pad, that is your portion, in Jesus’ name. The limits are broken.

Prayer/Action
* Thank you Jesus for breaking every satanic limit in my life.
*Declare that from you to your generation yet unborn, no satanic limit shall prosper over your destinies.
